This incredible Jaguar E-Type has now been fully rebuilt from the original tub to the latest M&C Wilkinson Ultimate lightweight E-Type specification from 2018-2020.

Upon completion of the build, the car has been campaigned on two occasions and won both races; the first being the Equipe GTS race at Donington, and then the second being the HSCC Dunlop – Jaguar Historic Trophy race at the Oulton Park Gold Cup. Competing against a strong field of Jaguars, including Jon Minshaw in his E-Type, and after an hour-long head-to-head race; the car was first to the chequered flag to take victory in this sole Jaguar race of the year.
